Thanks Mitch! Enzyte works best if you snort it (preferably from the tank lid on a dirty gas station restroom toilet) and have a really hot prostitute at hand hahaha

Bubbling this one up! Great post!
I must respectfully disagree with you about Enzyte:

I use it all the time to kill cockroaches. See, I misheard the commercial and thought the man said, “she will just die if she sees your cockroaches.”

Whatever, man. Other than that, it’s a great post!

Cheers,

Mitch

@ Ana: I didn’t know that, but I’m not at all surprised. People will waste their money on the most ridiculous junk!

It’s no surprise that people like Matthew Freud (head of Freud Communications) – great grandson of Sigmund, is an advertising/marketing wunderkind.

Hi Steve! I’m working on a few landing pages for those types of products. It won’t have posts on it, but instead will be a sales page. I may set up satellite sites to point at it and give it validity. It won’t be blackhat, but maybe a little stained hat…haha:smile:

Hi Morgan! I watch some tv but not too much. When I do, it’s usually late at night when I’m blogging and I’ll catch some shows. I just laugh when I see the ridiculous claims people try to sell you on, I don’t let it fill my head with garbage, but the way the people behind the scenes are making money from it does interest me. I’m currently designing my new “fountain of youth” facial lotion…hahaha

I enjoyed reading your post. I don’t agree with the tactics used to sell. But, it is what works. Praying on the fear or the insecurities of your target audience is a tactic used by millions of marketers because it works. Or the notorious one liners. “Want to make $X a week?” Blah Blah.
